Thursday’s 2B Football: Titans Roll Into State After Defeating Winlock

MENLO — The Titans started slow but scored 30 points in the third quarter to run away with a 46-0 win over Winlock in a Southwest Washington 2B District 4 crossover football game here on Thursday.

While the offense was stagnant at times, the Pe Ell-Willapa Valley defense was solid, allowing just 75 yards of Winlock offense.

“It was a slow first half. Every time we got something going, we shot ourselves in the foot. They weren’t really blocking that good,” PWV coach Josh Fluke said. “We had a pretty good motivational speech at halftime and played our butts off like we have been the last couple weeks.”

PWV’s Peter Hamilton returned to the lineup for the first time since Week 3 and led the way, rushing for 145 yards on 11 carries and three touchdowns. Max Smith had 98 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns.

Quarterback Logan Walker completed 6 of 10 passes for 66 yards and ran for a touchdown. Wyatt Bush caught two passes for 30 yards and Sam Western caught two passes for 15 yards.

Bryce Cline was 2 of 9 passing for 18 yards and Noah Patching caught both passes for 18 yards.

Walker scored the only points of the first quarter on an 8-yard run. Hamilton scored the only points of the second quarter on a 2-yard run for a 16-0 lead at halftime.

The Titans came out hot in the third quarter, starting with two rushing touchdowns by Max Smith of four and five yards. Hamilton ran in the next two touchdowns from eight and 33 yards out to secure the victory.

“It feels good, I like it,” Fluke said on making it back to the state tournament. “This committee, we’ll see what happens there.”

Winlock ends the season 3-7 overall. It was the final prep football game for Winlock’s Anthony Clevenger, Garcia, Kaelan Hinton, Tristen Roberts and Andy Moerke.

I’m happy with how we’re preparing,” Adna coach KC Johnson said. “We’ll wait for Sunday and the draw from seeding committee and then we’ll go to work. Hopefully, we’ll get that No. 1 seed and host someone at our place next weekend.”

The Pirates scored on the first play of the game, with Thomas finding Fay for a 61-yard touchdown pass. Cole Fay scored next on a 14-yard run, followed by a 6-yard rushing score by Elmer Loose.
